10 am – 1 pm

Art Stop provides free, hands-on art making for families during the Boulder County Farmers’ Market. Held outdoors on the front porch of the museum, creative inter-generational projects are designed to complement exhibitions within the museum, as well as the colors, shapes, and textures of the market. Don’t forget to visit the exhibitions inside the museum. Admission is always free during the market!

Art Stop is offered rain or shine, so look for Art Stop inside the museum during inclement weather.

Contemporary Classroom

Contemporary Classroom is a free day of art education and activities at your school with materials and curriculum provided by Boulder Museum of Contemporary Art. The program brings Boulder Museum of Contemporary Art’s exhibitions to your classroom with two exciting components: a visiting artist and a hands-on art making workshop.

A limited number of free access programs are available to schools thanks to the support of the Scientific & Cultural Facilities District. Please note that the free access programs are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.

Art Stop On The Go

Art Stop on the Go is an off-site, outreach program that provides after-school art education for youth ages 5-12 in Boulder County, Broomfield County, Adams County, Jefferson County, and Douglas County. Launched in 2008, Art Stop on the Go has impacted the lives of thousands of youth and their families through hands-on art projects, instructional workshops, and quality time spent with artists, art educators, and museum staff.

ARTlab

In 2011, BMoCA launched ARTLab, an ambitious effort to engage underserved high school students in Boulder County with fine arts and an immersive studio art program. BMoCA has presented the program in partnership with Justice High School in Lafayette, Colorado since 2011, and in 2014, the museum began a partnership with Boulder Preparatory School. As Boulder Valley School District Charter Schools, Justice High School and Boulder Preparatory School serve youth challenged by truancy, expulsion, or involvement in the criminal system. Weekly classes, visiting artists, and field trips to museums and studios provide a platform for real-world engagement with the arts. ARTlab empowers teens to build positive futures by expressing themselves through art while also earning credits towards graduation. Through ARTlab, students learn about future careers in artistic fields and to trust their creative voices.
